A Sweetheart 18 Not Next of Kin. Chicago Herald: W. D. Welch, a traveling man, 1nsured his life in the Royal Arcanum for $3,000.and made the money payable to his afianced bride, Miss Hgttie Parke, now Mrs. Palmer. The wnum wrote Miss Parke as beneficiary.although its by-laws spe Iy limited beneficiaries to next of kin, blood relations or actual dependents, to neither of which class did Miss Parke belong. A r ago Welch was to death in Minnesota, and M and his two brothers, Weleh and L. C. Welch, claimed the surance. It was argued for the Welch brothers when suit was brought that the Royal Arcanum, having no power under its by-laws to make Miss Parke the bene- ficiary, the policy was void, and that they took the insurance monéy as heirs. For Miss Parke, Miller Cu Judson & Hogan, argued that in insuring Welch, with the understanding that the money should be paid on hisdeath to his sweet- heart, the institution contracted a lia- bility, and despite its prohibition by- laws it was estopped from refusing to enrry out his obligation. Judge Shep- ard decided yesterday that under the by-laws and a decision of a conrt of Mas- sachusttes, Miss Parke was not entitle, to the insurance money, and it should go to Welch’'s brothers, Miss Parke will appeal the case. Courtship by Correspondence. Chicago Tribune: About the first of last July Miss Annie Doefer, the twenty- year-old daughter of William Doefer, an industrious farmer near Pomeroy, O., read an advertisement in which Bern- hardt Dettermann of Long Praivie, Minn., advertised for a lady corre- spondent. Miss Annie answered for amusement. The result was that Mr. Dettermann sent on his photograph, and the next mail westward bore her picture to him. Then he proposed mat- rimony. The girl carefully investigated his case before replying and found that he was a merchant at the county-seat of Todd county, Minnesota, 131 miles northwest of St. Paul. She forthwith sent him word that,as her rents were willing, she would be his lorever. He asked her to come to him, which she agreed to do, and Saturday he forwarded a check for $20,a wedding dress, and some jewelry. She left alcne” Tuesday morning to meet and marry a man she never saw, and she seemed cheerful and light- hearted, with a lonesome railroad ride of 1,042 miles before her. She expects to meet her intended husband at St. Paul, and they will proceed together to their new home, where, if all is satisfac- w-l-;v. the wedding will take place. efore taking the train she said that if she did not like Mr. Dettermann and and the bleak winds of the northwest she would come back. Left the Nunnery to Marry. New York Werld: Antonio Betz, for- merly ambulance driver for St. Cathe- rine’s hospital, Willhamsburg, was mar- ried not long ago to Sister St. Mary, of the Litany, of the same institution. Mrs. Betz was married under her maiden name of Julin Holley. Who married them is not known, bu known that Rey. Sylvester Malone, of St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s church, on Wythe ave- nue, refused to perform the ceremony. Sister St. Mary, or Mrs. Betz, as she'is now, is a tall and stately woman twenty- five years old. She who born in Munich, whence she was sent to this country seven years ago. When she reached here she was taken in charge by relatives, and by them placed in the Convent of the Sis- ters of St. Dominic, in Brooklyn, There she remained five years' and was then transferred to St. Catherine’s hospital. Tt was in this institution that she met Betz, who was ambulance driver of the fostitution. Sister St. Mary took the customary religious vows and became a professed nun. Last June Betz loft the hospital, and about three months ago gecured employment in Havemeyer’s sugar refinery. He rented rooms where he now lives, and continuedliving there until Sister St. Mary joined him. _She had left the institulion unobserved and in her nun’s raiment. Mrs. Betz says in explanation of her course that she did not like the seclusion of a convent and was unfitted for a nun’s life. She was only sorry that she did not have the courage to say so before she entered the institution. The work she had to do was hard, and the hours were very long. She believed she would be happier in her married life, as she loved her hus- band dearly. The Sister Superior St. Agnes, of St. Catherine’s hospital, said: **She is gone and that is all there is of it. She was at liberty to go where she pleased and we could not stop her. We are all pro- fessed nuns here, but we do not make our final irrevocable vows until we are thirty-three years of age. We ure free 10 go where we please, but must give notice.” Rev.

Pittsburg Dispatch: Lawrence Har- ris is a young man of high social stand- ing in Piercetown, Anderson county, S. C. Miss Minnie Hammond is the only daughter of one of the wealthiest planters of the county,and the acknowl- edged belle of the village. Forsome time past young Harris hus been an ardent suitor for Miss Hammond’s heart and hand. The young lady, however, did not reciprocate, and received hi attentions with the coldest indifference. When he called Wednesday evening she declined to see him. This mad- dened Harris, and he swore that he would be revenged. One night the tojected mounted on @ spirited ho called at the Hammond residence anc asked tor Miss Minnie.

Philadelphia Press: The engage- ment was announced a few days ago of Miss Louise Bouvier Drexel, daughter of the late Mr. and Mvs. I, Drexel and niece of Mr. A.J. Drexel,to M Robert Morrell, step-son of Mr. John G. Johnson, of the bar. Miss Drexel and her two sisters, Miss Lizzie Drexel and Miss Kate Drexel, are the three wealth- voung unmarried ladies in the United States. 'I'he aggregate fortune that came to them from her late father after the payment of about 81,500,000 to Roman Catholic charities, was some- thing over 818,000,000, 1t is so invested as to bring each of them an income of over $300,000 a year. They have become widely celebrated for their munificent charities, one of the finest monuments to their philan- thropic spirit being the Industrial School and Home for Boys at Edding- ton, which is within a short distance of their own country home at Torresdale. The home was recently opened with 250 inmates, and Is designed to accommo- dote 500. The Misses Drexel have already expended about $250,000 in the furtherance of the project, and have also undertaken to pay all the current expenses out of their private means. They have also taken an active interest in the work of christianizing the Indiaus,and have contributed large sums for that purpose. They sent §160,000 in one check for the use of the Roman Catholic missions among the red men, under the direction of Bishop O'Con- nor, of Omaha, who is well known and highly esteemed here. Their chari- ties minong private individuals are numerable, extend in every direction, and are conducted on the most meth- odical basis. Personally the young ladies are highly and soundiy educated.

Chicago Tribune: Last night a young man named Hawkes entered a jewelry store on Olive street and offered to sell seven gold watches for $100. Asthe watches were worth a great deal more than 8100, Hawkes was arrested. He told the police that he was a member of the jewelry firm of George B. Hawkes & Co., West Gardner, Mass. He was in love with Aunie M. Ma- thews of West Gardner, butobstacles arose that threatened to separate them. Last Wednesday he took 3100 and a hat- ful of watches and met the girl by ap- pointment in Boston. They eloped to Chicago and came on directly to this city. They were married yesterday morning by a justice of the peace, and registered at the Hotel Moser as **Mr. and Mrs. Hawley of Richmond. Va.” The police searched the young man’s trunk and found it filled with jewelry. The bride went into hysterics over the arrest and telegraphed the young man’s father. To-night a reply was received from Huwkes, sr., saying his son was all right. Hawkes, jr.. who says he is only twenty-one, was released and left for home to-night with his bride. s EDUCATIONAL.

SEVEN-UP IN A COLD BOX CAR. A Conscience-Smitten, Whisky-Eaten Telegrapher Who is Tramping and Coughing Himself into Fverlasting “Thirty." Tramps in a Box Car. EARLY every night the police docket records the names of tramps who have been arrested for sleeping in box-cars. To see them in their stolen berths a BEE reporter walked 1mto several of the local railroad yards when the s was ob- scured with the serge of & night, 20 ‘Are the he asked of tramps troublesome a switch- man “You bet they are, and they're & tough lot. They all carry razors or slung-shots, or else arm themselves with coupling ping, and no switchman has any time *fooling” around a car that has in it three or four of ‘em. The d watchmen e armed, and the bums are afraid of their guns. When they are driven out of one car they sneak along and got into another. Do you think,” queried the reporter, *‘that I could get a chance to look into one of the cars and have a talk with some of them At this the burly switchman re- lieved himself of a large railroad laugh and critically took in the meagre frame of the interlocutor. “Look a’here, young fellow,” he said, “‘you don’t look very stout,and if those tramps took you for a detective, or any- thing of that sort, there would be an- other mysterious disappearance for your pardners to write up.” Nothing daunted. however. the re- porter got his railroad friend to take him to the switch shanty, where he left his Waterbury watch and diamond ring. Donning an old pair of overalls, and a battered and tattered hat and coat, he started down the track in the direction pointed out as being most likely to con- tain the game he was after. Loug lines of cars stretched out into the darkness, The moon had just risen, and glistened on the rails, making the shadow be- tween the lines of cars more intensely black. As the reporter entered the alley between the cars, his courage almost forsook him. He cautiously moved nlong, now and then stumbling over a stone or link coupling pin, and occasionally stopping to listen, peering into empty cars by the aid of a lighted match. All the cars in the alley had been examined and nothing had” been found. By this time clouds had ob- scured the moon and a drizzling rain set in, which was anything but en- couraging; and the reporter heartily wished himself back in the warm switch shanty. As he stumbled down another alley on his way back, he brought up short at the sound of subdued talking and laugh- ter coming trom one of the cars. With some trepidation he tapped on the door and the sounds abruptly ceased. The door was slowly slide back and made visible by the glare of a switch lantern, a bloated and dirty face, covered with a two weeks growth of red beard, was thrust through the opening. “What in—do you want?"’ y pard,” returned the report me come in out of the wet, won't “On, it’s only you, is it? All righy; come up.” A dirty, big hand was extended, and the scribe landed on his abdomen on the car floor. By the light of a candle end, which was stuck on a ledge by the car doorin some of its own melted grease, four men sat around an empty soap box playing seven up with a greasy deck of cards. In a corner, covered with a ragged coat, lay a boy about fil- teen years of age, with bare feet, shivering with the «cold. A vol- ley of the vilust oaths issued from a burly ruffian who: had lost the game, and who was reviling his part- ner,a ragged, consumptive-looking man opposite him.

The beer can was making the rounds, the red-bearded individual always manag- ing to get the lion’s share. After the liquid had been disposed of, the big man, the red-bearded individual and their companion, a dried-up little fel- low whose clothes merely hung upon his frame, disposed of themselves for the night, and the reporter and the gentleman with the cough entered into conversation, ““How did you come to be in this fix?" asked the latter. **What has been your experience?” xperience!” he said ruminat- my experience has been Tt ‘would make an inte ten out.
